I am a former primary and secondary school English teacher and university lecturer of English. Taught in primary and secondary schools for over 20 years (1984-2004) and actively contributed in English, Physical Education, Pastoral Care and Career Guidance, discipline, sailing, soccer, badminton and drama clubs and committees. Students Feedback: Mr Marcus lessons are always engaging and interactive. Being a highly resourceful teacher, I have learnt lots of new skills, such as research and writing skills, which are very applicable to General Paper. He is also extremely approachable and hilarious and these qualities made me enjoy his lessons more. Jean, MI Final Year Student. Mr Smith teaches through ways that engage his students, with real world issues and circumstances from articles, videos etc. He teaches us to think out of the box, and away from the rigid structure that the school teachers usually force us to upkeep, allowing us to create better engagement and flow in our writing. Will definitely recommend him for those who are weak in GP and in need of help. Gina, Nanyang JC Final Year Student Mr Marcus is a very kind and humorous teacher. He takes great pride in his teaching and has helped me a lot in my weaknesses. He also passes along helpful skills and knowledge to us. These skills have resulted in a great improvement in my GP grades. He is a great teacher. Jiawen, MI Final Year Student GP had always be boring to me and it had never interested me in any way. But all these changed when I met Mr Smith as my tuition teacher. It is really amazing how GP can be fun and interesting, especially when I get to discuss with him about all the current issues around the world. Moreover, I have passed my prelims and seen an improvement in my grade after taking his tuition classes. He has taught me many skills that my teachers in school have not taught me before. Mr Smith is very encouraging and I appreciate it a lot because it really boosts my confidence especially when I had earlier failed GP in every single test I had taken in school! Shu Ling, JC2 , Serangoon Junior College. Initially, I seriously dreaded GP lessons in schools and GP seems to be a subject that I can't score well in. But after attending Mr Smith's lessons, his fun and engaging lessons allows me to better understand world issues and drawing the links of how it affects us. He certainly sparked my interest in GP and encourages me to look beyond my narrow scope of thinking. Additionally, he provides really good structures and tips especially the techniques to start my GP essays with a boom to impress my markers (which my school fails to teach me) and crafting good body paragraphs with fanciful evidences to enhance the reliability of my essays. Outside of tuition, he even created a whatsapp group to share news, relevant stats and even motivational quotes which I greatly appreciate. Really a hardworking and dedicated teacher! Through his guidance, I have seen a tremendous jump in my GP grades which was unexpected. And this certainly boost my confidence level in conquering the GP paper at the A-levels exam

I tutored a few students but the latest one was a girl who was taking her O level E math. Her results didn't dramatically improve but she managed to pass. This was her second attempt taking her O levels. She failed her math during her first attempt and also mentioned how she hate math. I also tutored my Niece who was in her lower primary at that time. She did pass her math and science. In conclusion, i have a strong belief that everyone is clever, they only need a helping hand and sometimes, this comes from tutors. They may also need a drive to push them through. On why and what is the importance of studying. Teaching is not only a job, but a commitment. It takes a lot more than certificates to define the tutors ability to teach. I am not implying that I fit the description of an ideal tutor, but I am willing to try my best to prepare the student for their upcoming exams.
